About SRT
SubRip (.srt) is the most widely supported subtitle format: numbered cues with start and end timecodes plus plain text, and basic inline tags for italics, bold, underline and font colour. It carries no positioning or advanced styling, which makes it the universal lowest-common-denominator that almost every editor and player accepts.
About MCC
MacCaption MCC (.mcc) is the text container that carries CEA-708 (DTVCC) digital captions for US HD broadcast delivery, alongside an embedded CEA-608 field-1 track for backward compatibility. It runs on the 29.97 fps drop-frame timebase only, expresses italics, underline and the CEA-608 caption colours, and uses a Latin-1 character set (no Arabic or other non-Latin scripts). Reading and writing MCC is a CueForge Pro feature; validate any MCC export against your platform’s spec before delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting SRT to MCC free?
Exporting to MCC (a broadcast delivery format) is a CueForge Pro feature, so this conversion needs Pro — but there is a 7-day free trial, and you won't be charged until it ends. Reading your SRT file and the other core formats (VTT, SBV, ASS) is always free.
Do I have to upload my file?
No — everything is converted in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
Will my formatting be preserved converting SRT to MCC?
Italics, Underline and Font colour carry across into MCC. Bold cannot be expressed in MCC and is dropped (CueForge shows you exactly what is lost before you convert).
